OH- Ohio priest says abuse charges filed too late, SNAP responds

A Cincinnati priest is pleading not guilty to abusing a 10-year-old boy and is seeking to exploit a legal technicality, claiming that the charges against him have been filed too late.

Fr. Robert Poandl is accused of molesting a boy in 1991. He belongs to a religious order called the Glenmary Home Missioners

We believe that all victims are entitled to a fair legal process regardless of when the abuse occurred. It takes courage and often many years for victims to report crimes that are committed against them at a young age.

We urge the court to consider Fr. Poandl’s crime as what it was, the horrific sexual abuse of a child, regardless of when it happened. We also urge any witnesses or victims to come forward.

Yes"’ you have a lot of Courage" and I do understand how aggravated and upsetting it makes us feel" as victims" but I’m sure that all victims of the Catholic Priest abuse; feel the same pain" . My abuse happened in the 60’s and I didn’t have any memory of it until 2006" and I called to speak with Mrgs. Cini in Delaware’ at first he aplogized for FR. THOMAS HANLEY" and what he did to me years ago" and I also asked Cini to make an arrangement so I can go face to face with FR. THOMASHANLEY " and ask him WHY ; " Cini promised me that he would set up the meeting " but the next phone call with Cini " the lies started; "
A few months ago I started a petition and just the other day I had to renew my petition" on the White House site & Moveon.org "
in BOLD letters on my petition it reads; Stop Child Sex Abuse; Abolish the Statute of Limitation;

When the Priest traveled to W.VA in 1991 with the 10 year boy did the police arrest the Priest for kidnapping ?
